Hochul hits Trump for exploring takeover of 9/11 Memorial & Museum: Reports

Source: The Hill

09/06/25 10:04 PM ET


New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Saturday slammed President Trump after reports of a White House takeover of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum were published by numerous outlets.

“The @Sept11Memorial belongs to the families, survivors, and first responders who’ve carried its legacy for more than two decades,” Hochul wrote in a statement on X, with a screenshot of reporting from the New York Times. “Instead of politicizing this sacred site, the President should restore 9/11 health care funding and support victims’ families,” she continued.

The White House and museum did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comments. Reports of Trump eyeing control of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum come months after the Trump administration attempted to revoke funding from the World Trade Center Health Program.

The White House restored funding for the program after GOP lawmakers urged the president not to withhold funds from research efforts, medical monitoring and treatment to more than 100,000 survivors who were diagnosed with conditions after working in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

One of his hundred of thousands of lies was that he helped in some way.

He claimed that he saw the WTC come down and he saw people jumping, he also saw large groups of people cheering in NJ in Jersey City and other parts of NJ when it collapsed. He also claimed he watched firefighters and police on 7/11 right after it came down remove rubble. He claimed he "helped a little bit.

The 7/11 was not a typo. He said that. He also said his building was now the tallest in NYC

Here are more of his lies about 9/11

The White House can just stay away. They have no reason to take anything over.
Even Dubya agrees with that one.

Are the Epstein files in it?

(The level of effort that this orange gibbon is putting into distracting from the Epstein situation is all but admitting that he is all over it.)
